Patriot League Takes On Free Streaming (White Paper)

This year’s graduating class of Midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy may be remembered for its many honors by professors, parents and fellow students, but one of its least-known accomplishments will go down in the history of the Patriot League as that collegiate athletic conference’s top achievement of 2013-14 –at least in one category.

This record-setting feat had nothing to do with athletics, however. Rather, the class’s graduation ceremony from Annapolis, Md., came in as the single most viewed live streaming event of any member university on the Patriot League Network this year when nearly 10,000 unique viewers looked in on the commencement from their computers, tablets and smartphones.
